Is America heading to war with Iran? If so, who would likely be our ally? At the American Conservative Pat Buchanan writes about a possible propaganda campaign to drum up support for the next big war in the middle east. A war in the Persian Gulf would send oil prices soaring and stock markets plummeting, […]
When Exactly Should America Go to War?
I have written here on Richardcyoung.com before that America should avoid any conflict that isn’t directly affecting American citizens. And I have pointed to Weinberger/Powell Doctrine as a good basis for what constitutes a justifiable use of America’s military power. At The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan examines the same question. He wonders if America should […]
America Should Handle North Korea Like it has China and Russia
Harry J. Kazianis reminds readers that despite Russian and Chinese leaders who went nuclear and treated their people horribly, America didn’t go to war against them. He writes at The American Conservative (abridged): Washington knows what to do when a nation that has very different and very threatening national security goals builds nuclear weapons. Remember […]
How to Prevent a War With Iran
My friend Jon Basil Utley, publisher of The American Conservative, whom I know through our associations with the Cato Institute, writes today about a report on Iran.

Trump Chooses Israel Over “Arab Friends”

A problematic block of misguided Americans writes of the hurdles Trump’s long promised decision will cause our Arab friends. Exactly what “Arab friends” should America be concerned about? I certainly hope Americans are not […]
Can U.S.-Russia Relations Be Fixed?
At The American Conservative, Daniel Larison asks if “rapprochement with Russia still possible?” Another question that must first be answered is, does anyone in Washington actually want better relations with Russia? There are untold benefits to better relations with Moscow, but it seems most of America’s intelligentsia would rather antagonize the remnants of America’s Cold […]
Jerusalem Mayor Applauds Trump’s Embassy Decision

Who Broke Libya? Chaos, Slavery, and Strife Abound
Writing at The American Conservative, managing editor Matt Purple points the finger squarely at the neocon cabal in both the Republican and Democrat parties. Today Libya, after a “humanitarian intervention” spear headed by Hillary Clinton and cheered on by neocon Republican senators, is a chaotic mess.

How Will America Deal with a Nuclear North Korea?
Recently North Korea test fired a missile with enough power to hit Washinton D.C. with a nuclear warhead.
